*|Happy Birthday To The Hero Of Cricket!|*

A very Happy Birthday

*Jhaapppiyyyaaannn*

7^th July- The Date Is So Special!

~|He Came; He Saw; He Conquered|~

On this day; the Hero of Cricket was born! The man who gave the Indian cricket a new dimension; a new status; lifted the spirits of a billion heart!

He is none other than Mahendra Singh Dhoni !

At the tender age of around 20; this young lad made his debut against Pakistan; and till date is entertaining us with his classical shots; the breath taking catches and the indefinable fielding! He won not only the Hearts of the crazy Indian fanatics; but every single cricket lover was and is his fan today!

The greatest all rounder born today will never be born again! There are many who in the near future may be able to go past his records; but the devotion to his game; his class; his stature and the standard of the game shall remain unchanged! He shall always be remembered as a Cricketing Legend!

There is a saying that goes:

Winners Never Quit; Quitters Never Win!

It aptly fits Mahendra Singh Dhoni; the Man who never bowed out of his side. Even after a string of failures; he struggled; fought and was back in form; only to enthrall us all the more! To keep the spirit of cricket and sportsmanship alive!

The man who rules the hearts of Cricket fans all over the world; whose name carries class; elegance; glamour; glitz yet the Man is the most humble, down to earth human being you will ever encounter!

The Man he is, not me alone but the whole nation salutes this Man! A Man whose cap is full of winning feathers; but the hunger he has to win many more tournaments is unaccountable! The passion; the love he has for his game shall always remain unparalleled!

Happy Birthday Mahi!

I wish you simple pleasures in life!

Evergreen Happiness!

A truly beautiful future!

And I wish you the beginning of another wonderful year in life

Most of all I wish you a Happy Birthday full of smiles and cheers!!

Love And Luck Always!

Mayuuu

WINDSOR PARK ( Dominica): An officer in charge of one of Dominica's many forest reserves comes across as someone who wouldn't have seen much life outside the dense tropical forests here.

Soiled shorts, rugged shoes and a double barrel shotgun is all he has as he moves around in the jungles that make for the island's most cherished treasures. Alan Woodwick even has to hunt or fish by himself to survive and has nothing less than a Boa Constrictor for a pet.

Just when you're about to conclude that this man may not know much beyond life in the wild, he greets you with a name that he's as familiar with as you are, and as knowledgeable, perhaps, as one can be.

"How is Dhoni?" Woodwick asks. "Say hello to him. He's my favourite cricketer," he says.

Woodwick likes what he's heard about Mahendra Singh Dhoni, mostly on the radio here because there's not much of reading for Woodwick to do. The skipper (Dhoni) "recently got married", his wife "proved lucky for him", he won the World Cup and he comes from a "small town", says Woodwick of India's most successful captain ever.

Long after you've left Woodwick behind and trundled out of the forest, his description of MS Dhoni gets you thinking. Why Dhoni? You begin to wonder. Why not Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid,Sourav Ganguly or Sunil Gavaskar?

Unlike Tendulkar, Dhoni can't play with a straight bat. Unlike Dravid, he doesn't have the technical efficiency of a proven Test batsman. Unlike Ganguly, Dhoni's not elegant. Unlike Gavaskar, he has not left a mark in the Caribbean islands either. But Woodwick, surprisingly, doesn't name them in his list of favourites.

Dhoni doesn't even make batting look good. How can a cricketer -- who doesn't move his feet at all, brings his bat down from the southwest and swings it to southeast for the ball to travel in some other direction altogether and is famous for a Helicopter Shot -- be someone's favourite?

But Dhoni is, and he defies all logic.

Woodwick's cricketing hero makes you relate to the common man's idea of following an idol. The forest officer is no great cricket buff himself and, therefore, he doesn't really enjoy the subtle nuances of the game. He sees Dhoni as a successful captain who came from nowhere, with no exceptional talent, but led a bunch of world class cricketers to World Cup victory and world's No. 1 Test status.

Dhoni gives the less-confident, average, small-town enthusiasts a lot to dream.

You have to be a born genius to become a Tendulkar or a Gavaskar; come from a big city like Kolkata to be a Ganguly and for fans to adore you. But not Dhoni... From Woodwick, you come to the conclusion how common men like to see their heroes in the same skin.

The same evening, after meeting with Woodwick, one arrives at the Indian team's training session in Dominica's Windsor Park stadium where Dhoni is busy talking to coach Duncan Fletcher. The two of them are busy animatedly discussing a cricketing shot -- something that resembles an off-side drive. You're quickly reminded of his last two dismissals in the Barbados Test, both times caught while trying to awkwardly drive and twice to the same bowler and fielder.

The Indian skipper has managed just 23 runs in four innings in this series and has been left thoroughly exposed for lack of technique.

How can Woodwick pick Dhoni for a favourite?

Dhoni's got other pressures to handle too. If his team doesn't complete its quota of overs in stipulated time in this Test, he'll find himself banned from the game at Lord's.

Despite his frailties, Dhoni is successful -- a cricketer who fights many of his own little battles in between leading India into many significant wars. Dhoni's gracious to admit that he is what he is "because of a great team". The shorter formats are less demanding but when it comes to Tests, he's lacking.

Unlike Tendulkar, he's not blessed and unlike Dravid, he's not troubling the West Indies here with the bat either. He makes up a bit for this lack of talent by way of some audacious leadership qualities.
